Volcanoes In General
« on: July 29, 2010, 10:28:39 pm »
Every volcano I've ever gotten in my worlds has been in a location I couldn't get to.  It there a way to get to volcanoes or increase the chance of them forming in an embarkable location?

Here at Bay12, we're constantly looking for ways to set the world on fire.

But at least after all the chaos, the weather cleared.

Just increase the minimum number of volcanoes in custom worldgen params. I've gotten tons in non-mountainous areas.

Not really. Remember that (almost) all volcanoes cause HUGE slopes on all sides which can make it kind of annoying to manage hostiles.

Hmm, maybe a FTW machine that causes the volcano to flood the map with magma?

Note: the above post means that 'flood the world' and 'for the win' are the same thing.

This is Dwarf Fortress. Of course they're the same thing, Urist McObvious. :P

For bonus points, built a Dwarven ark with two of every species while you wait out the magma flood. Except for Elves. Nobody likes them.

Or, if you're feeling a little less adventurous, magma forges + sand = glass. If you dam the river with floodgates you might even be able to build an artificial lake. Then you could build several glass structures on the lakebed to inhabit. When they're done, just open the floodgates and voila.

Just remember to leave some way of getting INTO them after they're submerged  :-)
